Inspired by bicycle couriers carrying chains on their bodies, Hiplok wanted to create a secure bike lock, which fits the rider comfortably without it being locked to them. The result was Hiplok Original - the first bike lock specifically designed to be worn on the body.

The Hiplok Original is the worlds first bicycle lock developed specifically to be worn on the body. It’s a seriously strong piece of kit with a Sold Secure rated hardened steel chain and 12mm hardened steel shackle at its core. With a hard wearing washable sleeve, three keys and reflective detail available, the Hiplok Original offers a unique blend of security and practicality never seen before.

Hiplok are a team of bike riders - they love their bikes and keeping them safe and secure without disrupting the enjoyment of riding is what drives them. Creating innovative, unique products that address and solve problems is a challenge that they set themselves constantly, and something they are very proud of.

Hiplok use their wearable bike locks everyday, and stand by their quality, design and security. All of their research and development is done in house by a small, passionate team. This allows them to test and evaluate every detail themselves, and gives them the freedom to dream of new ways to innovate. This attention to detail and design has shown itself in the multiple awards and test victories that their products have received so far.

What Is Sold Secure?

Sold Secure has developed a three tier security grading system. The Gold rated locking devices offer the highest level of security. The next level down Silver offers a compromise between security and cost, whilst the Bronze level typically offers defence against the opportunist thief. Thus the purchaser can choose the system which best meets his needs or the relevant insurance requirements. Again there are a number of options for mobile use and some solutions for the home environment. A number of bicycles are stolen from insecure garden sheds or garages and we have tested ground anchors, shackles and security posts to help in this area. Also see our new category for domestic buildings. It is important to note that some items (D shackles in particular) may have extra cables attached to them. These “accessory” cables will not be covered by the Sold Secure approval and are only providing some extra minimum security for other items (e.g. wheels etc).

Sold Secure Approval is classified into 3 main categories; Bronze, Silver & Gold (with an additional Diamond level for certain Caravan, Tracker & Cylinder Lock security products). The categories reflect the amount of time per test and the tools that are used and themselves vary depending on what test specification is being used. The higher the grading (Bronze is the lowest) the higher the security provided by the product.

The Approved Product list gives the reader an insight into the more effective security products, it does not give any form of guarantee that these products will be 100% effective in combating crime. Also, it does not guarantee that these methods are suitable for specific applications. It is the responsibility of the equipment supplier and equipment purchaser to ensure that any system is suitable to its particular application and that it complies with all legislation, standards, codes of practice or any other requirement. Every effort has been made to ensure the contents of the list are accurate, however Sold Secure does not accept any responsibility for loss arising from decisions based upon it.
